This morning, Erika and Timmy and I headed back to Circus School!

We went the first time a few months ago and it was awesome, so we went back for a second time!

This time the class felt MUCH harder than before. There were more stations and they did some more technical tricks. I was sweating by the end!

The best part is always hanging upside down on the trapeze!

Erika and Timmy were much more coordinated than me!
(Look at that Upside Down Pike!)

Last time I went, I just couldn’t flip upside down on the Ribbons. You have to do this and then jump so you flip over:

And this time…I did it! I flipped!! I just closed my eyes and jumped and I went all the way over. It was so exciting. I squealed out loud!!

I felt like jello at the end. Circus School is quite the workout!

Color Coordination September 28, 2010

Irving and I couldn’t really decide what to do tonight, so out of boredom, I decided to organize my side of the closet. Irving’s is always pretty neat and orderly, but my side… not so much.

I typically organize my clothes by “type” (sweater vs. tshirt vs. tank top) but this time… I was living on the wild side and decided to try organizing them by COLOR. ohhh pretty!

And since we live in LA, it’s mostly tshirts (although I sure do miss big comfy New England sweaters!)

All the ducks in a row…

I give it about a week until this all ends up mismatched and piled up in the corner… just sayin’.

 

Dinner #7 September 24, 2010

As part of tonight’s I hate cooking dinner challenge, I made another recipe from my archive that I’ve been DYING to make.

Introducing… Sweet Potato Shepard’s Pie. I found this recipe on Tina’s ‘Trading up Downtown’ blog.

When I got home from work and started whipping ingredients out of the fridge, Irving said, “Are you sure you want to cook again tonight? You really don’t have to!” I said, “what, are you sick of my cooking already? It’s only day 7!” haha But I think he was just impressed that I am still going strong on the dinner cooking front.

Truthfully, I’ve been LOVING this cooking challenge. I’ve actually begun to enjoy it. Cooking is my time in the kitchen to unwind. Irving hooked our computer up to the tv in the kitchen, so he’ll come and hang out in there too and we have a blast spending an hour just catching up and getting some things done.

I found that when I have a recipe to follow and have all the ingredients I need, it’s actually pretty easy. I thought that cooking would kill my night and I’d have no time to get anything else done, but I’ve actually been MORE productive. I get the dishes done while things are in the oven, and a few other things here and there.

But I digress.. back to my pie!

Yesterday’s meal was meat-free, so I think Irving was happy to have a manly meal tonight. He really liked it.

Even though this recipe has paprika, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper, we both agreed it could have used some Frank’s Red Hot sauce or something to kick it up a notch. Next time…

And just for fun… I took Erika and Timmy’s dog out for a walk today. He’s so cute!

So remember way back when when I went to the Biggest Loser Taping?

Well the episode was finally on this week!!!!! Can you see me?

Just kidding, you wouldn’t be able to see me unless you were looking for it. lol
And I kind of got in this shot…

There! Right next to my friend Stephanie!
I haven’t watched the whole episode yet, but I’m glad the show is back!

PS… while scanning through the show quickly, I saw this commercial!!

OH MY GOSH!!! ALPHIE!!!!

He got a makeover, but still the same toy I used to love when I was little.  SO COOL!

Ashley’s family lives back on the East Coast, and they wanted to be part of the Baby Shower action too! So her sister and mom organized a ‘Skype Shower’ where everyone could “see” Ashley open up all her gifts!!

IMG_6060

It was SUCH a cute idea. All the gifts were shipped to my house so they would be a surprise! And they even sent us plates, napkins, balloons and favors that matched theirs!

Before the shower, Ashley came over early and made me homemade crepes! (Learning how to cook, remember?)
IMG_6076 IMG_6077

It was so easy!

The key is the nutella and the whipped cream (obviously!)
